Liniar

No comments

Liniar’s trading company, HL Plastics, has been a leading name in the uPVC extrusions industry since 1974. Located in the heart of the UK, Liniar’s in-house team designs and manufactures a vast range of lead-free uPVC products, helping to build a reputation for innovation.


Rebrand/Identity Guidelines

Selected by Liniar to redesign and develop a new brand and guidelines, we utilised their existing leaf design, which they had grown to love, and set about creating a clean, modern logo with matching brand elements.

Using fresh colours and a more contemporary typeface, we were able to create a modern look which sat perfectly with Liniar’s state-of-the-art products

Business Cards

To complement their new and revitalised identity, Liniar wanted business cards which would set them apart from their competitors. Gluing duplex cards made from 270gsm white and lime board, we die-cut these to mirror the shape of their redesigned logo, resulting in the perfect solution.

Bi-fold Doors Brochure

Like the Bi-fold doors they produced, Liniar wanted the brochure to be clean and contemporary. The challenge was to create a brochure containing the right mix of aspirational images and the necessary technical data. Working within the parameters of the new brand guidelines, we were able to produce a modern, attractive and informative brochure.

Corby Annual Report 2018

We were commissioned to produce the Corby Annual report, which summarises the Commissioning Group’s achievements, progress and financial activity throughout the year. We worked closely with the client to produce the report and update the design from last year’s edition.

Whilst we were mindful of NHS brand guidelines and maintaining the strict corporate identity, we utilised small but effective design techniques to enhance the overall look and feel of the design, and to distinguish Corby’s distinct identity.

Corby Report 2017

Corby NHS 2016 Report
